Charlie Cox Praises Marvel For Their Willingness to Overhaul ‘Daredevil: Born Again’
While fans will finally get a chance to see Daredevil: Born Again when the series hits Disney+ next year, it has been a long and winding road for Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio to get the series made.
Daredevil: Born Again was initially announced in 2022, with the expectation that the series would be a clear break from the original Daredevil series that ran on Netflix from 2015 to 2018.
During last year’s SAG-AFTRA strike, however, Kevin Feige and other Marvel executives viewed the nine completed episodes of Daredevil: Born Again and decided that the series needed to be overhauled.
Eventually, the decision was made that the upcoming series would tie directly into the original Daredevil show. This not only resulted in a slew of familiar faces joining the Born Again cast but also Marvel deeming the entire Defenders saga canon.
Charlie Cox Praises Marvel
During a recent appearance at Fan Expo Boston (via ComicBook), Charlie Cox praised Marvel for their willingness to change course.
“Marvel had been incredibly open-minded and willing to correct course, and incredibly supportive,” Cox said during the Fan Expo Boston panel. “Early on, we were trying something that was a bit different, and very quickly they were able to identify that wasn’t maybe working as well as it could’ve done. Where we are now, I think I can speak for both of us that we feel very happy.”
D’Onofrio’s Thoughts
According to D’Onofrio, who plays Kingpin in the Daredevil franchise, his relationship with Cox was key to getting Daredevil: Born Again on the right track.
“The best thing about the situation is what Charlie just said about the bosses at Marvel, and also the fact that Charlie and I were a team. We just supported each other in everything that each other wanted. Whether we were in the scene or not,” D’onofrio explained.
“Whether it featured our characters, it didn’t matter. As a team, Charlie and I considered the story and the fans. Literally, I’m not [kidding] you. You guys, we considered you constantly and brought you up constantly.”
Now, as a continuation of the original Daredevil series, Born Again will hit Disney+ next year. Hopefully, all of Cox and D’Onofrio’s hard work will pay off and fans will be thrilled with the final result.
